Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCE17C37SN2D0 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across all equivalent parts:

• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 37
• Number of Rows: 2
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 4 (DC, C)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Shell Material, Finish: Steel, Tin Plated
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

All five substitute parts listed (5745189-1, 5745189-7, 5747315-1, 745189-7, 747315-1) meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations exist in current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, flange feature design, dielectric material composition, and regulatory compliance status. These variations are documented in the parameter comparison table below.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All five substitute parts maintain the core electrical and mechanical specifications required for D-Sub 37-position receptacle applications. Selection should be based on the following compliance and regulatory considerations:

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, parts 5745189-1, 5745189-7, and 5747315-1 are suitable. Part 5745189-1 carries ROHS3 certification, while 5745189-7 and 5747315-1 are RoHS Compliant. Part 745189-7 is RoHS non-compliant and should not be used in applications with RoHS requirements. Part 747315-1 has RoHS status listed as not applicable.

For applications requiring extended operating temperature range beyond -40°C to 85°C, all five substitute parts provide -55°C to 105°C capability, exceeding the original part specification.

Parts 5747315-1 and 747315-1 feature board-side flange mounting (4-40), which differs from the housing/shell unthreaded flange of the original part and the other three substitutes. This mechanical difference requires PCB layout compatibility verification.

All substitute parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and carry higher current ratings (6A versus 5A) and specified voltage ratings (125V), providing enhanced electrical performance margins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can all five substitute parts be used interchangeably with FCE17C37SN2D0?

A: All five parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for 37-position D-Sub receptacle applications. However, flange feature differences and regulatory compliance status must be evaluated for specific applications. Parts 5747315-1 and 747315-1 have board-side mounting flanges, requiring PCB design compatibility verification.

Q: What is the difference between housing/shell unthreaded and board-side flange features?

A: Housing/shell unthreaded flanges mount directly to the connector housing without threaded fasteners. Board-side (4-40) flanges use 4-40 threaded holes for mechanical attachment to the PCB, providing additional mechanical stability in high-vibration environments.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Parts 5745189-1, 5745189-7, and 5747315-1 are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant. Part 745189-7 is RoHS non-compliant. Part 747315-1 has RoHS status listed as not applicable. Verify compliance requirements for your application before selection.

Q: What is the difference between contact finish thickness specifications?

A: The original FCE17C37SN2D0 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold plating thickness. All five substitute parts specify flash gold plating, which is a thinner, cost-effective coating. Both finishes provide corrosion protection and electrical conductivity suitable for signal-level applications.

Q: Do the substitute parts support higher current ratings?

A: Yes. All five substitute parts are rated for 6A continuous current, compared to 5A for the original part. This provides additional current-carrying capacity for applications requiring higher signal integrity or power delivery.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The original FCE17C37SN2D0 packaging is not specified. All five substitute parts are supplied in tube packaging, which is standard for connector distribution.
